Debunk of the Times Heatwave death story- The Times : "540 and 760 people in England in the first nine days." of the heatwave- Full Fact provide context ..pointing out 11,000 people would be expected to normally die over such a period So what Prof. Armstrong’s research shows is a rate of deaths 4.7–6.6% higher than the crude average for the year.- The usual quote is that far more excess deaths are caused by cold snaps in the UK than heatwaves

“THE EARTH’S CARBON CYCLE There have been suggestions that the burning of fossil fuels may so increase the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere as to cause a drastic climatic change. … Dr. Edward Teller, the “father” of the hydrogen bomb, gave members of the American Chemical Society a solemn warning about the effects of the burning of coal and oil fuel on the atmosphere of the Earth.”

- digging brings up another article condeming Harrabin and pandering to things re-inforcing your own prejudicesWhy Do the Media Act as a Mouthpiece for Vested Interests?

@jamespOne of my all time favorite albums, I have bought it in three formats over the years and am resisting paying again from Apple. I even managed to indoctrinated my now in their 20s sons :)
